SoFla blog scene picks up steam

Sorry to bug you with a nother post about Miami blogs, but there’s lots going on. We’re going to sail through it, and then lay off the blogs for awhile; fair enough? (BTW, we’re much more interested in blogs about Miami, not just bloggers who happen to be in Miami).

• By far the biggest deal is that Miami now has its own Metroblogging site. The more DIY, widespread, and cooler alternative to the -ist sites, this is sort of what we’ve been waiting for. Curiously, most of the writers already have blogs of their own (Franklin, Kathleen, and Kyle have all signed on); it’ll be interesting how they balance their contributions.
• The Herald’s Infomaniac, Elisabeth Donovan, arguably their only real blogger, seems to read Critical Miami; here is her response to our article about the Herald’s arts coverage. Thanks Liz!
• Hella Frisch is a blog by a bassist for the New World Symphony. Kicking some interesting perspectives and cool photos; worth reading despite the hideous blogspot template (via 411).
• Stuck on the Plametto is less then a week old, but seems to have some interesting perspectives, more cool photos, and a slightly more tolerable blogspot template.
• Hidden City, the granddaddy of Miami blogs, has been doing some nice stuff lately.
• OMG: Frances Nash ran into a mariachi band at her dentist’s office. Unfortunately, she’s switched from the huge pictures posts to small pictures, with links to flickr.

   Thanks for the mention, Alesh. Still trying to get used to the new digs.

   I’ll post big fat pictures again soon…I was at the stupid dentist so all I had was the camera on my cell phone. Thanks for reading my bloggy.

   Thanks for listing “Hella Frisch,” and I admit that the template is hideous. Sometimes the truth hurts. I’ll check out the others on your list, maybe they will inspire me to improve my packaging.
